Discussion
Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other as Reason (R) :
Assertion (A) : Haphazard development of cities has resulted into degradation of urban environment.
Reason (R) : This is due to absence of urbanization policy in India.
Select the correct answer from the codes given below :
Answer: B
The key's answer is that both (A) and (R) are correct, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
The assertion is a common observation: unplanned growth of Indian cities, with slums, encroachment, inadequate sewerage and traffic, has degraded the urban environment. The reason is also accepted as a fact: India has long lacked a comprehensive national urbanisation policy.
On the key's reading the reason does not by itself explain the assertion. Environmental degradation in cities follows from many factors, rapid migration, weak municipal finance and capacity, poor enforcement of building and pollution rules, and the pressure of population, and the absence of a single policy document is at most one contributing condition. So the link is not the direct explanatory one that option A requires, and the options declaring either statement false are ruled out.
